CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, May 12. LONGHORN Ricky Berens talks to Swimming World about his last day of racing at the Arena Grand Prix, Charlotte, also known at the Charlotte UltraSwim.

Berens reveals that he spent the majority of the day teaching a clinic, which is reasoning behind his slower than prelims swim in the 100 freestyle, an event he took second in behind Anthony Ervin. Berens, who is a Charlotte native, also discusses the clinic he taught between sessions.
